A Complete 2026 Toyota RAV4 Redesign

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 redesign reimagines versatility through fresh styling and a fresh platform based on Toyota's TNGA-K platform. With more frame joints and suspension supports, drivers can expect a smoother and more confident ride. The hammerhead-like aggressive front end ties it to Toyota's modern SUV family, while clipped door panels, large fender flares, and new LED taillights bring athletic charm.

Each trim has its own personality:

• Core Design (LE, XLE, Limited): Modern, paint-matched front grille and body-sculpted flanks.
• Rugged Design (Woodland): Raised ride height, all-terrain wheels, black split grille, and built-in LED lighting.
• Sport Design (SE, XSE, GR SPORT): Aerodynamic spoilers, 20-inch wheels, and GR-tuned driving for the driver's ultimate rush.
